It mainly focuses on the appearance of this kind of humor in cartoons and comic strips of the newspaper El Universal between 1924 and 1932. In this period, which also coincides with the rise of nationalism and the spread of xenophobic movements and campaigns in Mexico, this publication had the greatest amount of graphic humor made by their own cartoonists.

El presente artículo es un acercamiento al humor étnico en México en las décadas de los veinte y treinta, centrándose en la presencia de este tipo de contenido en el humorismo gráfico del diario El Universal en el periodo 1924-1932, años donde esta publicación tuvo un mayor número de caricaturas e historietas propias y que además coincide con el auge del nacionalismo en el país, así como también la proliferación de movimientos y campañas xenófobas. A lo largo del trabajo se hace una revisión de las principales características del humor étnico en este diario, describiendo algunos de los estereotipos más recurrentes en sus páginas. Una segunda parte del trabajo busca analizar el caso de los chinos estableciendo una comparación entre el discurso gráfico producido desde el movimiento anti-chino y diferentes tipos de discursos humorísticos que aparecieron en la publicación que se estudia. El objetivo principal del texto es abordar los principales rasgos de este fenómeno en México y apuntar el valor del humor como fuente para estudiar el racismo y la xenofobia. Por otro lado, se busca subrayar la necesidad de comparar distintos tipos de discursos sobre los extranjeros sin perder de vista los contextos a los que pertenecen.
